Why Is Joanna Masel Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Joanna Monti-Masel is an American theoretical evolutionary biologist. Since 2016 she has been a full professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona. She studies the question of evolvability, namely, why evolution works given that mutations to working systems will usually be detrimental to their function.
